it depends on the size of the person also.

larger people can lose more. (remember its mostly water) but its a loss and it counts. dont get hooked up on a number. but so far you are doing great.

and in regards to cheating, its not okay. you only cheat yourself.

all the best on your upcoming surgery.

I lost 9 lbs, my surgeon told me the pre op diet was not about weight loss, but more about liver shrinkage, you should focus on that

Thank You everyone. Today I did pretty well with drinking lots of Water and lots of exercise. I actually felt so good. Felt like I had a ton of energy and pep in my step! LOL I am so happy I got my head back in the game. I lost it for a little bit. I can't believe I am actually getting weight loss surgery on Thursday! I can't wait to be thin and healthy again. Good luck to anyone getting their surgery soon!!

Trouble with Bowels? My problem was all that pooping I think because zll that protein! I didn't ever think a guy could have that much Poo!! I guess my ex wife was correct when she told me a was full of it!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
